Al-Qamar 3
There have already come to them Recitals wherein there is (enough) to check (them),
Al-Qamar 4
Mature wisdom;- but (the preaching of) Warners profits them not.
Al-Qamar 5
Therefore, (O Prophet,) turn away from them. The Day that the Caller will call (them) to a terrible affair,
Al-Qamar 6
They will come forth,- their eyes humbled - from (their) graves, (torpid) like locusts scattered abroad,
Al-Qamar 7
Hastening, with eyes transfixed, towards the Caller!- "Hard is this Day!", the Unbelievers will say.

But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre:
Al-Qamar 13
She floats under our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!
Al-Qamar 14
And We have left this as a Sign (for all time): then is there any that will receive admonition?
Al-Qamar 15
But how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning?
Al-Qamar 16
And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition?
Al-Qamar 17
The 'Ad (people) (too) rejected (Truth): then how terrible was My Penalty and My Warning?
Al-Qamar 18
For We sent against them a furious wind, on a Day of violent Disaster,
Al-Qamar 19
Plucking out men as if they were roots of palm-trees torn up (from the ground).
Al-Qamar 20
Yea, how (terrible) was My Penalty and My Warning!
Al-Qamar 21

The people of Lut rejected (his) warning.
Al-Qamar 33
We sent against them a violent Tornado with showers of stones, (which destroyed them), except Lut's household: them We delivered by early Dawn,-
Al-Qamar 34
As a Grace from Us: thus do We reward those who give thanks.
Al-Qamar 35

Al-Qamar 42
Are your Unbelievers, (O Quraish), better than they? Or have ye an immunity in the Sacred Books?
Al-Qamar 43
Or do they say: "We acting together can defend ourselves"?
Al-Qamar 44
Soon will their multitude be put to flight, and they will show their backs.

Truly those in sin are the ones straying in mind, and mad.
Al-Qamar 47
The Day they will be dragged through the Fire on their faces, (they will hear:) "Taste ye the touch of Hell!"

Al-Qamar 53
As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Rivers,
Al-Qamar 54
In an Assembly of Truth, in the Presence of a Sovereign Omnipotent.
